Philips RC 026 cd changer doesnt work

I have a renault clio and when i try to change from my radio to my cd player I get a beep and it stays on the radio. When I put cds into the changer it makes alot of noise which I assume it is recognising that i have taken the case out and put it back in. Although it is taking longer to stop making the noise than previously. The wire is secure and there doesnt seem to be any obvious signs of damage. Any ideas?

I have a similar intermittent problem. When selecting 'SRC' button on radio to change to CD changer often get 'NO SRC' displayed on the radio. Would welcome troubleshooting ideas!I have a similar intermittent problem. When selecting 'SRC' button on radio to change to CD changer often get 'NO SRC' displayed on the radio.

We finally realized that all of the "advisers" on the internet want to charge for their advice, and their advice in this case is univerally that the unit should just be replaced. Ya think?! Could of figured that one out on our own.....what a joke...

hi i recently bought a lexus ls400 and it the trunk it has a ten disc cd changer by the steering wheel in the car is this little black box that keeps reading E-99 evertime i press play on this odd little box that is the control device to make the cd's play i've put the cd 's in the changer upside down right side up testing it and still the little black cd player play button/disc change button keeps saying E-99 my question is, is it a fuse or is this cd player thing near the stearing wheel just a peiece of garbage please contact me at phantizzle123@yahoo.com if you have any idea why this is doing this because i can't play any cd's theres no cd player where the cd/tape decks usually are in cars in the middle above the column shift. it would mean the world to me if you could help me out with any information as to why this brand new sony ten disc cd changer is giving issues to the cd player thing next to the stearing wheel on the right it's kind of hidden but it just won't stop saying e-99 no matter how brand new a cd i put in the changer thank you your friend john bunce

i've just fitted a new stereo to my sons clio. i reason why you have no controls with the radio from the steering control is because the steering control has not been connected to the radio (ie the radio is incompatible with the steering column controls)

I have a 2008 Renault Clio and have a CD stuck in the built in CD player . It plays fine but I cannot remove it. Anyone got any wonderful ideas Renault are asking astranomical prices to remove it. Thank you Margaret

You have to use the Steering Wheel remote Control===========================================Philips Renault Code Entry

Turn on the radio and the display will show 'CODE'

Use the steering controls for code entry.

Press the [ ¬] button then rotate the thumb wheel for the correct first digitPress the [ ¬] button then rotate the thumb wheel for the correct second digitPress the [ ¬] button then rotate the thumb wheel for the correct third digitPress the [¬ ] button then rotate the thumb wheel for the correct fourth digit

If the correct code is now shown on screen, press and hold the [ ¬] button for up to 10 seconds to store the code

to enter your code when the cd player displays error leave cd player switched on and after 20 mins or so i will display 0000 then you will be able to enter your code this happens when some 1 has entered the wrong code
